EVALUATION OF THE DISCHARGE COEFFICIENT’S EFFECT ON WATER DISTRIBUTION IN THE SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEM

Today, there are several problems in the
implementation and design of water-saving irrigation
technologies, and several studies are being conducted to
find solutions to these problems. According to Darko and
others, the sprinkler irrigation system differs from other
irrigation systems in that it can uniformly moisten the field
and consumes less energy. If the water flowing out of the
sprinkler does not wet the field uniformly, it causes excessive
costs and affects the growth phase of the crop as well [1].
According to Li and Rao, the sprinkler irrigation system is an
irrigation method that can provide the crop area with water
and fertilizers at the same time and has high efficiency [2].
Dechimi and others note that sprinkler irrigation system
design should be properly implemented, and to hydraulic
calculations should be given a great importance [3].
